A whole book on ...

It sounds like one hell-of-a book. Of course, it does describe hell on earth. What am I talking about? Andrew Bostom’s book on the 1400 year history of jihad. Here’s a short review and here’s a long one. I tend to focus more on the ideology than an in-depth and comprehensive study of the history. This is definitely a book I’d want to read to fill-in some of the gaps on Islamic history. I’d appreciate suggestions of other books on Arab & Islamic history.

Update: another review and the author's website.
Update II: and another review.
